Pierre Gauthier and Marc Bergevin: A Comparison

Fact: 95% of Habs fans are happy about Bergevin being the
new GM because he represents the return of class, smarts and all around
niceness to the organization.

Fact: 5% of Habs fans are morons.

Marc Bergevin is the light at the end of the tunnel and Habs
fans indeed feel like they’re in heaven after going through 2ish years of pure
hell.

While Habs fans were quick to cut the cord connecting
Gauthier to the Habs I want to go back for one more drag through mud…considering
that’s what Gauthier did to the Canadiens during his time as Supreme Overlord of
the team.

Gauthier and Bergevin couldn’t be more different, here are
some comparisons to prove just how different they actually are.

Marc Bergevin: Is very patient and friendly to the media. He
graciously answered questions and made himself available for public
appearances.

Pierre Gauthier: You paid for that cookie, right?

Marc Bergevin: Will be patient and tactical while exploring
trade avenues with other General Managers throughout the league.

Pierre Gauthier: Swears that is was Gainey’s idea to trade
Ryan McDonagh

Marc Bergevin: Has 20 years as an NHL player, time as an
assistant coach, head of player development and Assistant General Manager on
his impressive resume.

Pierre Gauthier: Has worked for the IRS, been a dentist
specializing in root canals and was the General Manager of the Ottawa Senators.

Marc
Bergevin: Is an overall nice guy.

Pierre
Gauthier: Took the term “Nice guys finish last” way too seriously.

Marc Bergevin:
Is a huge fan of the Bee Gees.

Pierre Gauthier:
Gives everyone the heebeegeebees.

Marc
Bergevin: Has a great sense of humour often being cited as a fantastic
practical joker.

Pierre
Gauthier: Idea of a joke is trading Mike Cammalleri for Rene Bourque. Get it?

Marc
Bergevin: Is not a big drinker but does enjoy going for a few beers with his
buddies every now

and then.

Pierre
Gauthier: Drinks a glass full of Habs fans’ tears every night before bed.

Marc
Bergevin: Knows this is a bit weird but loves drinking soft drinks through a
straw.

Pierre
Gauthier: Just sucks.

Marc
Bergevin: Believes that the key to winning is by playing as a team.

Pierre
Gauthier: Winning?

Marc Bergevin: Is all for the natural progression of the
sport of Hockey.

Pierre Gauthier: Wants the red line added back in and thinks
there’s too much shot blocking going on.

Marc Bergevin: Brings a breath of fresh air to the Canadiens
organization.

Pierre Gauthier: Usually needs a breath of fresh air due to
his head being up his own ass 90% of the time.

Marc Bergevin: Is keeping his distance from the student
protestors, his business is Hockey.
